How the states and territories fared

Federal payments to South Australia will fall from $8.46 billion to $7.64 billion in 2012-13. As specific purpose payments shrink by 25 per cent, GST receipts will rise by 6 per cent. The federal government will provide about $95 million a year for affordable housing and more than $4 billion for health care over four years. It has promised $30 million for the Adelaide Oval revamp and $232 million in 2015-16 to half fund the Torrens and Goodwood junctions rail project.

The government promises $2.7 million over two years for the Tasmanian Innovation and Investment Fund to assist industry and $8.7 million for the redevelopment of King George V sports precinct in Glenorchy. Work will begin on road and rail projects using $89.6 million in federal funding. There is $1 million for hospital building projects and a boost of $3.7 million for cancer treatment, plus $7.2 million towards implementing the forestry agreement.

The federal public service will lose more than 4000 jobs over two years.

The budget provides $140 million to transform Alice Springs, $240 million to maintain police in remote areas and $76 million for indigenous housing.
